Rushing sold 5.5 million shares of its $0.25 par, common stock on February 3, 2022, for $16.5 million. The proceeds from that sale along with $3.5 million from the maturation of some 3-month CDs were used to pay the notes payable on February 8. Through his attorney, one of Rushing’s construction workers notified management on January 5, 2022, that he planned to sue the company for $1 million related to a work-site injury on December 20, 2021. As of December 31, 2021, management had been unaware of the injury, but reached an agreement on February 23, 2022, to settle the matter by paying the employee’s medical bills of $84,500. Rushing’s financial statements were finalized on March 3, 2022. Required:
1. What amount(s) if any, related to the situations described should Rushing report among current liabilities in its balance sheet at December 31, 2021?
2. What amount(s) if any, related to the situations described should Rushing report among long-term liabilities in its balance sheet at December 31, 2021?
3. What amount(s) if any, related to the situations described should Rushing report among current liabilities and long-term liabilities in its balance sheet at December 31, 2021 if the settlement agreement had occurred on March 15, 2022, instead?
4. What amount(s) if any, related to the situations described should Rushing report among current liabilities and long-term liabilities in its balance sheet at December 31, 2021 if the work-site injury had occurred on January 3, 2022, instead?

You are encouraged to research outside sources and, of course, cite them. Do not, however, quote sources word-for-word, but rather, respond to the Discussion Forum Question in your own words.
1. Identify four reasons that capital budgeting decisions by managers are risky.
2. Why is an investment more attractive to management if it has a shorter payback period?
3. Why should managers set the required rate of return higher than the rate at which money can be borrowed when making a typical capital budgeting decision?
4. Why does the use of the
accelerated depreciation method (instead of straight line) for
income tax reporting increase an investment’s value?
After you’ve completed the questions above, please provide a brief explanation of how this information is important in managerial decision making. (500 minimum word count, references excluded)

Bay Area Limos operates transportation services to Bay City airport. The price of service is fixed at a flat rate for each trip and most costs of providing the service are fixed for each trip. Betty Smith, the owner, forecasts income by estimating two factors that fluctuate with the economy: the fuel cost associated with the trip and the number of customers who would take trips. Looking at next year, Betty develops the following estimates of contribution margin (price less variable costs, including fuel) for the estimated number of customers. For simplicity, she assumes that the fuel costs (therefore the contribution margin per ride) and the number of customers are independent. |
| Contribution Margin per Ride |
||
| Scenario | (Price - Variable cost) | Number of Customers |
| Excellent | $ 45 | 5,500 |
| Fair | 35 | 2,800 |
| Poor | 20 | 2,200 |
|
In addition to the costs of a ride, Betty estimates that other service costs are $42,000 plus $6 for each customer (ride) in excess of 2,800 rides. Annual administrative and marketing costs are estimated to be $20,000 plus 10 percent of the contribution margin. |
| Required: |
|
Compute the total contribution, costs and operating profit for each of the scenario and each group of customer. (Input all amounts as positive values except losses which should be indicated with a minus sign. Omit the "$" sign in your response.) |
